UW Plaza Lofts Being Marketed Now

August 17, 2009

Construction of 16 two-bedroom lofts at the University of Wyoming
Plaza is one step closer to fruition, says Douglas H. Vinzant, vice
president for administration at UW.

All steps required to market the Bunkhouse Lofts are now completed
with the developer, Grand Avenue Land Partners, LLC, Vinzant says. The
lofts will be built on the plaza just east of the UW campus at 22nd and
Grand Avenue in Laramie.

"Plans for these Bunkhouse Lofts have been in the works since the UW
Plaza was first conceptualized more than 10 years ago," says Fred L.
Croci, a managing partner with Grand Avenue. "These unique residential
units, given their proximity to the UW athletic fields, and the campus
in general, will provide a place of respite for folks coming into
Laramie to enjoy Cowboy athletics, as well as other campus related
activities. They were designed for socializing and feature large
roof-top patios on top of the garages near the stadium. Interest in
obtaining these units has always been high, especially from Cowboy Joe
Club supporters."

Each unit offers 1,200 square feet of upscale living space. Extras
include granite counter tops, fire places, hardwood floors, jetted tubs,
wet bars, full appliance package including stacked washer and dryer,
wood cabinets, high volume and/or vaulted ceilings with skylights and
covered roof-top patios with an elevator at each building for easy
access.

"At each closing of a Bunkhouse Loft unit, a $10,000 donation will be
made to Cowboy Joe Club, for a total of $160,000 once the project is
completed," says Josh Rebholz, Cowboy Joe Club director.

Grand Avenue representatives are touring the state talking with many
Cowboy Joe Club members and providing a power-point presentation that
including architectural drawings, interior images, sample materials and
other features of the Bunkhouse Lofts. To schedule a presentation, call
Croci or Kelci Hayward at Commercial Broker's Alliance - Fort Collins,
LLC at 1-866-737-6777.
